"Defining things, not words"
Work by Andrew Lyles (senior, painting)

KCAI Crossroads Gallery at 1908 Main St.
6 to 9 p.m.
April 2, 9 and 16

An opening reception for "Defining things, not words" will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. 

Lyles describes the show: "The show is very open to the viewer's interpretation of what is presented by myself.  It's like having a collection of marbles and suddenly they drop before you. You begin to pick them up, but you start out by choosing your favorite marbles. In that act of picking up your marbles you begin to, define things and not words."
